No

Not sure, but to be as safe as possible, wipe with diluted disinfectant or rubbing alcohol.

You should always sanitize anything that someone else has put into any part of their body. Just wipe them with alcohol.

(technically) Yes. The middle ear is blocked from the ear canal by the ear drum. Fluid build-up in the middle ear is where the bacteria grow. You will (technically speaking) not get an inner ear infection from someone else by using their earphones.

AirPods and anything else that goes in your ears should be consider PERSONAL equipment and NOT swapped or traded around. Dare to be uncool and protect yourself.

  • IPhone 4s: Do you care when someone still buys/uses them in late 2013? A guy bought an iPhone 4s in late 2013 and gonna use it for the next 2 years before buying a new one. He didn't wanted to buy iPhone 5c or 5s because it's too expensive and besides he's 15 and he bought it using his savings so does anyone care with that? Does he looks old fashion? Would anyone make fun of him in class? What do you think?
